Destiny drags our life

I was disturbed momentarily in the morning when my son said “Bakash maut karo”. I was hurt by his statement. But later on when I realized that I am alive now to have more experience in life about kith and kin, friends, relatives, etc how they react when things are not in their favour. I am not also the exceptional. I do equally react to a situation, the way it should not have been and repent at a later stage. I thought so for obvious reason, I have experienced death from a very close encounter, yet I could not die before my death. On time (in my youth) I was totally non believer of fate, yet having interest in occult science, palmistry, astrology. But I was having faith on my “Karma”. But now I have changed the opinion and firmly believe on destiny and fate. Destiny is something we choose to go after.... Fate is something that happens to us, and apparently takes away our choices, but in fact actually leads us back towards the choice of Destiny we already made before we were born. There are lot of examples in my life which I shall not talk about.

But I shall give examples from the legendry so that you realize it how destiny controls our “Karma”.

PROF. M. S. SWAMINATHAN, notable agriculturist and father of Green Revolution came to agriculture because of destiny dragged him otherwise he would have been an IPS Officer, had there been IPS result one day earlier.

NORMAN BORLAUG, Nobel Prize winner: He was a student of Bachelor of Science in Forestry and in the last month of his undergraduate education, he attended a Sigma Xi lecture by Elvin Charles Stakman, a professor and soon-to-be head of the plant pathology group at the University of Minnesota.The event was pivotal for Borlaug's future. Stakman, in his speech titled "These Shifty Little Enemies that Destroy our Food Crops", discussed the manifestation of the plant disease rust, a parasiticfungus that feeds on phytonutrients in wheat, oat, and barley crops across the U.S. When Borlaug's job at the Forest Service was eliminated because of budget cuts, he asked Stakman if he should go into forest pathology. Stakman advised him to focus on plant pathology instead. Borlaug subsequently enrolled at the University to study plant pathology under Stakman, receiving a Master of Science degree in 1940 and Ph.D. in plant pathology and genetics in 1942. He later become the wheat breeder and discover the tripple dwarf gene which brought revolution in feeding millions of people in Africa and Asia.

Many great enlightened soul echoed the “destiny drag” in there own way. A few examples are:

"I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be." ...Douglas Adams

"It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped." ...Anthony Robbins

"Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him." ...Henry Miller

We are asking "why are we here" and demanding answers. Our children and grandchildren would also ask the same question. The answers are here too, we have to find them...or perhaps we need to be open up to allowing the answers to come to us.

Never mind what happens to you, it is always for the good, if pleasant, you will enjoy, if not you will be wiser a bit. Any way let us enjoy the life, whatever way it comes to us. May God bless us all.
